Power Groups since Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR) have Not kept up with exactly what it takes to Move the train in the Various Subdivisions around Railroad.
Some Railroads have had Discussions about the Big Failures of PSR so it will be Interesting to see which Class I Pulls the Plug 1st on Dumbest Idea of ALL Time.🤪
Damn, even with three extra engines, they still had to run them in notch 8 with wheels spinning! Rain and wet rails certainly didn't help. Some trainmaster/yardmaster didn't do their homework on power requirements when they put that train together!
2 stalls that day,one the next and one yesterday that required 3 locos from the border. The 2x1 configuration works in ideal dry conditions but they struggle. I'm not sure why they stopped useing mid dpu's here. Only the long potash and grain have those. Potash usually runs 2x2x1 on the long ones.
It is cool when a train stalls and another group of locomotives is called in to pull those guys out. Reminds me of when CN came to the rescue of CP at the Detroit Windsor tunnel in early 90s.
That is really cool and I understood what those guys were saying to each other and how goddamn dicey it is. It is all about Power at the end of the day and they have known the grade forever so the math is childsplay and the railways cut it razor thin to the limit for Locomotive power and DPU technology - But obviously they err towards failure and that sucks huge!!! Boy, it sure is good there is no caboose with a poor old Conductor freaking out when the stall happens!! Maybe on the big hill coming up from Field --- Did we roll back!!! At least there has been progress from that... We just went into Emergency on one of my student trips. I think it is atrocious that these trains are underpowered and crap out but there is a whole lot wrong from what I see and hear.
Thanks Demos, good job catching the action with the crappy weather. Any explanation for the conductor (yellow jacket) on the heritage unit riding the front right end of the unit? Thanks again 🙂I haven't been through that area since 1980, sure wish I could travel to SE BC, beautiful part of the province.
@@demos9677, thanks for the reply. Would he be looking and listening for slippage and what the engine sounds like? Sorry, just not knowledgeable about these things. Thanks for any info.
@@timdunbar7820 it happened about a half mile farther then where they usually pull the pin so i missed it but tried! They usually pull it as soon as their on the level and moving which I have filmed at night.
The EMDs probably started wheelslipping when the speed started dropping. As a locomotive slows down the motors draw more amperage and make more tractive effort. Hate to say it but the GEs have a far better truck design and can hold traction on the rails. That's why they are preferred on mountain passes by almost all class 1s today.
Canadas deadliest rockslide. There is a huge fault running through the mountain but there is also an underground coal mine. The slope on the east side lies on a fault also and is said will someday also slide.
That rock slide buried an entire town. Lots of people lost their lives, they never really dug out the old town but cleared a path for the railroad and the highway. The town reformed next to it.
@@nightrider6769 I had to chase the train also so sorry but all my videos are montages of an event. I was useing an old sd card that was allmost full because my last one shit the bed. You dont have to watch them. No ones twisting your arm.

Thanks! I'm learning!
wow, they must of just estimated the weight and were way off trying to have another wreck
Teamwork makes the dream work. Thanks for sharing 👍

@@demos9677 "Uphill slow, downhill fast, profits first and safety last!" Enough said! 😄
@@demos9677 Any chance in the future to film the whole train please.
@@HashDogg06 Sure. When i stop it's usually because i have to race ahead and get the cut-off where the helper leaves.
@@HashDogg06 yeah, the cuts were quite rough

Nothing Cool about it if you’re the Engineer in the Stalled Unit.
@@kens.3729 They don't get paid?
Incredible, rare catch! I saw a ferromex locomotive last summer in New Westminster
crazy how far they travel

We need help captain!
I'll throw the switch Captain, but I can't guarantee what will happen.
Why not put the extra power on before you start up the hill? That's what they do here in Wyoming with coal , grain and a mixed freight once in awhile.
The troops in Lethbridge will turn out to UUmph a loco over the ridge.
love the audio, very cool 😎
Nothing like the girls digging in their heels
some trainmaster don't like SD70ACU's!!!!

They are making sure the other loco is making power properly.
@@demos9677, thanks for the reply. Would he be looking and listening for slippage and what the engine sounds like? Sorry, just not knowledgeable about these things. Thanks for any info.
The trains allready stopped so i think they just check to see if it's running as it should be as i see it on all the stalls there.

Nice catch, thanks.
The boring GEVOS came to rescue the EMD's how sad!
Nothing boring about a good locomotive

Great video thank you
Nice video my man 👍😊
Is that a mine or just incredible rock fall from that mountain?
Canadas deadliest rockslide. There is a huge fault running through the mountain but there is also an underground coal mine. The slope on the east side lies on a fault also and is said will someday also slide.
That rock slide buried an entire town. Lots of people lost their lives, they never really dug out the old town but cleared a path for the railroad and the highway. The town reformed next to it.
The buildings that did not get buried got moved. The old bar on main street in vulcan Alberta is from frank.
hellova load…in the rail!!!
Ferromex
🇧🇷🚂 Muito bom o vídeo!! Parabéns!
Ganhou mais um inscrito aqui do Brasil!
No idea what you said but Gracias! Love the ferromex!
@@demos9677 Thanks! I am Brazilian railroad. I don't Mexico Railroad.
🇧🇷😅😅😅
MRS, RUMO, BRADO and ALL logistics railroad.
Sure sounds like a brake left on the train.
416 to the rescue!
Toasters to the rescue!
I am wondering what the grade is there ?
2.5%
Saw it in action!
Were you in the grey car i pulled in front off with my red chevy crew cab?
@@demos9677 oh, no. Was passing through, drove by a few times. Then watched it from further west
wet rails
what is Ferromex doing this far north?
I asked myself the same question. Sad to see 2 sd70 ACU's stalled out though.
Lease unit
@@damonblankenship9450 or trading hp
Horsepower Hours payback is why the Ferromex ACe was there.
@@demos9677 The Ferromex unit is actually an SD70ACe.
Bc not Alberta
Alberta.
google Frank Slide ... it is Alberta... cheers
Would have been nice if you showed us the whole videos to the jumping around through it ruined it for me.
My memory card would have been full.
Then I guess you need to get yourself a bigger memory card.
@@nightrider6769 I had to chase the train also so sorry but all my videos are montages of an event. I was useing an old sd card that was allmost full because my last one shit the bed. You dont have to watch them. No ones twisting your arm.
This was a condensation of the whole show. 2 hour operation my gee
@@nightrider6769 we're sorry the video not being made just for you hurts your feelings
